THE TWO SIGNS.

At the sign Of 1.-THE Glass OF Champagne"
On the corner, what see you at night:
Thro' the oft opened door, the high-polishet
floor,
And mirrors and ''bar fixtures bright.
Pass under THE Glass Of Champagne"
Gaudy pictures bedeck the pale wall,
Not an oath Is here heard, not loud-spoker
word,
Meek walters obey evry call.
Not sound of carousal or brawl-
All is quiet. and polished, and fine.
Here gentlemen call, in society's drawI
For their brandy or sparkling wine.
Pedestrians on the street hear
But the click Of the cues as they pass.
It Is not q disgrace to be seen in this place,
And the drunkards here made are first-clsss.
See that youth barely out of his teens
Approach the gay, glittering bar
His head is held high and smiling his eye
As he calls for his VINE or cigar.
Diamonds flash on his snowy-white shirt,
Diamonds flash on his snowy-white hand.
He's the acme Of style. oh, well may he smile
For Fortune is his to command.
On the corner what sounds do you hear:
You hear fistic bouts and vile drunken shouts,
And the clinking Of glasses Of beer.
Pass under 1.-THE Big Lager Glass
There is dancing and music in there.
And topical songs on the workingmans wrongs
BY maidens once guileless and fair.
Pass on TO the high sloppy bar,
See that brute blOated, dirty, blear-eyed,
Clothes tattered and torn, unshaven, unshorn,
Hand nervously twitching at side.
See him search and research his foul rags,
See the big drops of sweat on his brow
Ey'ry nerve. ev'ry vein is throbblng with pain,
And crying for stimulus nOw.
At the sign Of 1.-THE Glass Of Champagne
You saw, not q long time ago,
With his head held up high, and with gay,
smiling eye.
This brute so besotted and low.
At the sign OF 1.-THE Glass of Champagne
He once strutted a proud. hsping swell,
He scorned to drink beer, but he begs for il
here
In lower but not worse hell.
Let's depart from this horrible den,
And as thro its dark portals we pass,
Let's swear as we're men, to never again
Pass under 1.-The Big Lager Glass"
And let's swear, as we laugh at the brutes,
And scoff Mt their will-power and brain,
To take to the stall il we e'er again call
At the sign of 1.-THE Glass Of Champagne"

about so violently that it was impos-

Delano Eagle: The Norris Trihun
wants somebody to be kiud enough
| to state the difference between th,
land theories Of Henry George, presi
dent OF the Anti-Povsrty Society, and
James J. Hill, president OF theS st. T
Nj. q Nj. Ry. company.
| Always having an accommodating
disposition, even at the risk OF being
accused OF giving gratuitous advice,
We would suggest as an explanation
| or the two theories in question, that
the one of Henry George is, or seems
to be, that the State and MT the ln-
dividual shall own the lald, while
the James J. Hill theory, judging
from the manner in which he gobbles
up the public domain, seems TO DO
that neither the State nor any indi-
viduals but James j. HIN shall own
the soil. 1t Is claimed by those who
know IL that the Manitoba and sew
eral other railroad conIJanics have
had enough land given hem to build
their roads twice ovl~
The above expla N is good. but
hardly complete. o. Hill evident
~ is not satisfied the ownership
Of what the gov nent has given,
but seems to I'd himself the
owner Of all la tributary to his
lines OF road-r IN name, but in
fact. He is pc ely willing to de-
lude farmers in thinking that they
own the land " are living upon
and improvin ,roYiding he is not
molested in collection Of his
rents. By Ms of his road and
agents, these ITS are collected with
regularity, tainty,. and, SO far,
without mo tation. When collect
ed they are allied freight charges;
but then, know, there is but
little in a y he. If any farmer will
investigate. he amounts which he |
pays for s. ling his grain to market |
and his su lies from manufacturers,
he Will ind that he is paying freight |
charges, rents and numerous fees be-
sides. All OF this doubtless Is very
to Mr.. Hill, and makes
him feel u degree of proprietorship in
he country much greater than records
md appearances would indicate upon
The surface.

HANCOCK, Mimi, Aug. IS, 1887
We can no longer tolerate those
bands Of providers (so-callcd fowlers,

destroy our corn; in fact they have
threatened the safety of our hen
roosts.
Resolved: BY the Town Supervisors
of the town of Moore, that our rights
must be respected, our chickens pro-
tectsd. All men found in said town
Of Moore with dog or gun with inten-

HUNTERS BEWARE.

Resolutions adopted by the town
meeting of the townof Morris.
WHEREAS, The annoyance of dogs
and hunters tresspassing upon our
farms has become past endurance, on
account OF the trampling down of
grain, injury to shocks and stacks and
general lawless disregard of the
rights of property. and
WHEREAS, There are many birds
killed by these hunters in the close
season In direct violation ofIaw. Now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the supervisors be
instructed to use all reasonable en-.
deavors to secure the conviction OF
any and all offenders.
Resolued, That the town clerk be
instructed to publish these resolutions
| in the Morris Tribune during the last
week of July and the month o.
August 1887 and to post copies o
these resolutions on the Bulletin
Boards of the Town.

"A writer, in speaking upon diet of
strong men, says: The Roman sol
diers who built such wonderful roads,
and carried weight of, armor and
luggage that would crush the average
farm hand, lived on coarse brown
bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet, and regular and
constant in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances
half the night, yet eats only his black
bread, onion, and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter eats only little fruit
and some olives, yet he walks of
with his load OF a hundred pounds
Phe eoolie, fed on rice, is more active
and can endure more than the negro
| fed on fat meat. The heavy work o
the world is not done by men who
eat the greatest quantity. Modera
| ton in diet seems 10 be the prerequi
site Of endurance.
